Why the Veda snana whirlpools are
constructed in the Temples ?
In the panch bhootas (five elements),
the water has been given the important
role as it is most essential for all the
creatures in this universe.
Without food man can survive for few days.
But without water one can not live even for few hours.
Water is vital , it is lit and also life.
For drinking, cooking dishes, cleaning,
washing for every kind of work and
for every thing , the water is needed.
We can not discuss about the importance
of the water since we are experienced .
We should not enter the temples with impurity.
Uncleanliness is every where restricted .
And in the temples, it is totally banned.
We have to purify ourselves.
All the scripts say we must have the
Antah suchi as well as Baahya suchi.
When we want to visit the temples means
without devotion we will not go there.
The devotion itself is purity of the heart.
Like that, baahya suchi is also compulsory.
That means, we have to purify ourselve bodily also.
Then automatically the antaha suchi
( inner purification) will be taken place.
The Veda Snana whirlpools which are
constructed in the temples for the
sake of purification in all aspects.
On the occasions of festivals and other
religious ritual time, the temple priests
make the Deities’ Idols for Chakra snanam by
chanting Mantras in those Veda snana whirlpools (pit).
By doing this auspicious thing, the temple
lotus tank ( Pushkarini) gets become divineful purity.
The Yogis, Sidhhas (santly persons) and the
Sages take their bath in those Pushkarini
which is veda snana whirlpool.
After their bath, we have to enter the
puskarini and dip into that seven times
and then finally wipe off with upper cloth.
But while getting dried, first we have to
wipe the back side , then face and orderly.
After coming out of the Pushkarini, on the bank,
Vibhuti should be applied on the forehead and
also put the Kumkuma and then go for the
Daiva Darshan in side the temple.
By doing this, every one will attain the Grace of God.
Even a common man also has to follow that custom.
